Usopp wanting to urinate and being scared to go alone asked Zoro to accompany him but Zoro refused. Usopp went on his own and noticed that someone was on the ship fixing it, shocked by the mysterious shadow, blacks out only to be found by Zoro the next day. The priests were summoned by Enel, but they began fighting against one another seeing who is the strongest among the three priests. While arguing among themselves they questioned where Enel was and a bolt of lightning came and Enel appeared.

Enel reveals to the priests the purpose of the Straw Hats coming to Sky Island and told them the Shandia will also be attacking therefore, the Upper Yard is opened to the priests without any area limitation. He also told them the Ark Maxim was ready. Gan Fall ponders on what Enel's purpose might be and Wiper rekindles his resolve to take Enel out.

The Straw Hats on the following morning realizes that their ship has been repaired. They pondered on who may have fixed the ship considering their location. Usopp wondered how the repair person was able to fix the ship correctly to its original design. Finally, Usopp and Chopper begin their attempt to get their ship off the sacrificial altar.
